1st Test: Ashwin Credits Jadeja For 195 Unbeaten Partnership In Chennai Heat
Spinner Mehidy Hasan Miraz: Ravichandran Ashwin's unbeaten 102 along with Ravindra Jadeja's 86 not out did wonders for India after being put to bat first in the opening Test by Bangladesh at MA Chidambaram Stadium on Thursday. The duo not only turned the tide in their favour but also complemented each other in the middle to build a 195-run unbeaten stand for the seventh wicket to take India to 339/6 at the stumps.
Ashwin-Jadeja's mammoth act survived India from early all-out after Hasan Mahmud's four-fer reduced them to 144/7 in 42.2 overs. India had a worst possible start after the right-arm pacer removed captain Rohit Sharma (6), Shubman Gill (0) and Virat Kohli (6) in quick succession, leaving the hosts tottering at 34/3 in 9.2 overs.
Mahmud exploited the weak spots of India's star batters - Rohit and Virat and left them guessing on in-swing and out-swing respectively. Gill was unlucky to get an edge on the ball moving to leg-side, grabbed behind the stumps by Litton Das.
